you know ive been thinking about it, and i'm starting to beleive the moon is actually made out of sauce

dear those who would respond positively to an ewok revolution,

first and foremost for todays correspondance i would just like to announce that it is FINALLY snowing here! we've only gotten the occasional flurry so far but nothing has had ANY lasting impact. but lo! and behold we woke up this morning to find our yogging (completely purposeful misspelling) trak frosted more (only slightly) than Elder Gills breakfast.

but increasingly cold and correlatingly less colorful weather aside lets now chat about our eventful week. bad news out of the way first, vicky has unfortunantly dropped out of our teaching pool. she's been facing too much opposition from her family and hasn't been able to overcome her concerns because of it. this was hard for both me and elder gill because we have been working with her for a while now and really were hoping for her to find the peace of the gospel for her family. we left on good terms and she texted us later to say goodbye and that she was glad that she had met us because, although she can't accept the restoration at this time, she could recognize that meeting with us had helped her to find a stronger faith in Christ. 

coming away from that meeting we were sad, as anyone familar with this work will understand, but we went on to experience miracles. later that day we taught Sonya for the first time. After her amazing experience at church last week she was exited and open as we began teaching her. she said that although she had some resistance on the part of her family when she decided to come to chruch. they we're all more than happy to accept her continuing in this path because they all commented on how much happier she had been that sunday after church. this is one of my favorite things about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the immediate and powerful effect it has on our being and on all our interactions with others. in short when we experience the spirit we naturally start becoming more joyful and more loving. as we taste the goodness we then begin to both desire to bring it more into our life and also to begin sharing it with those that we love. as we taught her the gospel she opened up to us and accepted all that we said. telling us that it all made sense in a way it never had before. she wanted to learn more and seek more and share more of this with her family :)

the work is still going great here in farnborough and i'm exited for the future of the work here. one of the my favorite things about being a missionary is being able to have the feeling that because of choices i have made that i've been able to leave places and people feeling that because of the work that we do that place or person is better off than they were before. i know that this has nothing to do with me but more with the power of the message we bring and the spirit that accompanies it. there is nothing more rewarding that i have experienced than to feel that the lord has worked through me to the blessing of even one of my brothers and sisters here.

i love you all and i'm grateful for your continued support.

 

With love

Elder Jarman
